We gratefully acknowledge the help rendered us by Prudy Sandifer and her camera.
We wish to take this opportunity to thank Miss Whitaker, Miss Bement, Mrs. Pearce, Miss Bornt, Miss Carlson and Mrs. Godfrey for their unfailing help and encouragement. Without them, it would have proved impossible to produce this book.
"You know what little while we have to stay, And once departed, may return no more."
With this in mind, your quiet charm and gentle smile have guided us through our years at 'Hamp. At any moment you were ready to help us solve our problems and direct us to a more purposeful life. From you we first learned that a moment wasted is a moment lost. We, who have had you in class, found a continually high level of achievement which we were required to meet. You have made us more aware of our duties and responsibilities; have aided us in becoming more mature. With a word or two from you before "Boards" we were immensely relieved and ready to do our utmost. For everything you have meant to us and done for us; it is with deep appreciation and gratitude that we dedicate this yearbook to you, Miss Dunham.
The ship is almost in port. The sails are furled; the paint has been chipped, but we are stronger, steadier than when we set out.
Our officers have been sorely tried by our clumsiness in learning how to sail, but we have been well taught. On other ships the knowledge of the rudiments of seamanship will serve us in good stead.
We will always remember the voyage; forgetting the squalls, recalling only happy hours and sunny days. We are heading for different ships, new ports, new seas—"SAILS TO THE WIND".
TO THE CLASS OF 1954
Dear Girls:
Thirty senior classes have come and gone from the Northampton School for Girls. In many ways, they have been much alike, but each has its own qualities, each is unique. Like twenty-nine other classes you have shown much affectionate consideration for your fellow classmates and for your teachers, like twenty-nine other classes you have endeavoured to keep the spirit of the school fine.
The class of 1954 seems to us to be marked by its enthusiasm; not only its enthusiasm for work, but for the many extra-curricular activities, sports, music, dramatics, publications and a host of other things. May you carry all these qualities, zest for learning, affectionate regard for others, a loyal spirit and an enthusiastic response to all the calls, not only of college, but all your life.
Our love goes with you wherever you are.

SEPTEMBER—.
Senior Log
The voyage began; thirty-seven seniors stowed their baggage with high hearts. The "old girl", "new girl" parties gave us a chance to get better acquainted; it wasn't long before we were all "old girls". Mondays, we took over the swings, see-saws, and climbing bars at Look Park as we descended upon it for picnics.
OCTOBER—
This was organization month. We rushed around joining clubs and going to banquets. Williston was host at two dances, the traditional "Shipwreck Dance", and a very interesting Halloween dance where, with 'Hamp's dramatic talent, "The Light Went Out".
NOVEMBER
Rehearsals for "The Rivals", the big production, which took up most of our time—that is, when we weren't slaving on "Ben Franklin". "Golden Rule" dinners became the last word in Sunday dining. The hockey team finished a tremendous season, no losses and only one tie.
DECEMBER
"Will everyone PLEASE give me two Christmas cards?" "Got anything you don't need? White Elephant table can use it." These frantic pleas were made in assembly each day as the Christmas Bazaar was organized. Then, too, there were the many rehearsals with Williston for the Christmas concert and dance. The final holiday touch prior to vacation was the Medieval Banquet at the Hotel Northampton. Dressed appropriately, we made merry for the whole evening, with jesters, a boar's head, mummers and waits.
Seniors—Day Before College Boards
JANUARY—
Bits of cellophane, cardboard, plastic and wood miraculously took the shape of frogs, as many hard-working students developed their "bug" projects. There were mad moments studying for Mid-Year's and then, the wonderful relaxation when they were over.
FEBRUARY—
After much "hush-hush" we presented our handsome yellow and grey banner. Dramatics held the limelight; French Club skits and class plays.
MARCH—
This month, long awaited, brought College Boards. We were surprised at how quickly they came, and relieved when they were over.
Dinner—After a Day of College Boards
APRIL—
With warm weather, refreshing colors of spring transformed 'Hamp into many colors. We could go to Smith for dinner and choose our own afternoon study time. Many of us went to the U.N. and some to the religious conferences at Ethel Walker.
MAY—
Many things were crammed into a short time during this, our last month. Prom time was at hand and we waltzed gaily through a glorious weekend. We had our own dining room twice a week, and our senior picnic. On Parents' Weekend we entertained with an afternoon program and in the evening we adjourned to "Williston" for "The Taming of the Shrew". We struggled through finals and came at last to those wonderful, hectic, last days. After the dance pageant we burned our problems on Phoenix night and the next day installed the new Student Government officers. Awards were given out at the last assembly and then the big day arrived. We tripped over Montgomery's steps in time to "Pomp and Circumstance" and we were alumnae.
Class Prophecy FLASH!!!
MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY, CORAL GABLES, May
31, 1983.
Two of our sponge divers returned today with a fantastic tale of an undersea kingdom which they claim to have discovered under the coral reef three miles south of here. Carolyn Bump and Ann Cohen reported that they found a thriving city, where all their former classmates at N.S.F.G. were living. Here in their own words is their fabulous tale:
We were scaling the western side of the coral reef, looking for a new species of grantia poriferae, when we were jolted by violent tremors. Fearing an earthquake, we were all set to jump off when a massive door, hidden by the jagged pattern of the coral, swung slowly open. To our surprise, Mac came madly paddling through. She could only throw us a passing shout as she was already two minutes late on her journey to the upper world—private courier for Hatsy, who was still writing letters. "Hi," she greeted us, "It's about time you two arrived. We've been expecting you for the last ten years." She was off, with a wink and a wave, and we were left wondering what to do next, when we spied the gatekeeper. "Mitzi," we cried as we recognized her, "where in the world are we?" "Come on in," she said, "and you'll see." We gingerly crawled across the sharp rocks and poked our heads inside the door. Before us was a dazzling undersea kingdom.
"Extra, extra," came floating through the air, and Jeannie flew around the corner. "Shut the gate quickly," she squealed. "'Eight Arms' (the queen's pet octopus) has just escaped from Cheney!" She hastened to assure us that there was no immediate danger, and then, giving us a pair of fins, she offered to take us to see Queen Betsy, mistress of this watery world. In the narrow, clam-shelled streets, we passed Pat selling goldplated fish on the black market. We noticed on the Palladium Marquee that Hopie's troop of dancing fishes, starring Betty and Barb T., was to present a performance of Mermaid Memories to Music that evening. Rounding the corner into the main square, we ran right into a crowd of tots from Trout's "minnowgarten". "We're on our way to see Idey and Dinny, the court jesters," she said. "Won't you come, too?" Since we were going the same way, we joined the throng. We saw two little boys sporting snails around their necks—no need to ask, we knew they were Enid's. At the opposite end of the square was the palace, glittering with its Mother-of-Pearl walls. Among the pages outside the gate we saw Walton serenading the crowd with her superb accordion rendition of "How Deep Is the Ocean."
After a brief visit with Betsy, and at her advice, we set out for a fashion show at Neptune's Hideaway, an exclusive sea-side club. Betsy graciously lent us her sea horses, which were brought in by Cappy, resplendent in scales of 24 karat gold. Our journey was much faster this time as everyone pulled aside for the carriage of the queen. Everyone, that is, except one. This poor soul wrenched herself from the crowd and threw herself at our feet with a piercing shriek. "Take me back," she sobbed. "They've sent me for ads." We knew it was Sloanie. Our route passed the new residential section, where we saw the much-debated, seaweed and sponge house designed by Jun.
As we arrived at the club, our attention was drawn to a diving exhibition in progress at the pool. Ginny and Barb D. had just sailed off the high boards in tandem swan dives. We had to hurry, however; the show was starting. The club ballroom was decked out with seaweed and coral for the occasion, a beautiful background for the first, and star performer, Becky. She came out in a new creation by Dearden, fishnet and pearls artistically worked to give the illusion of stardust. Her shoes were by Butterworth, who sat behind the scenes, turning out gunboats as fast as she could. We went backstage to congratulate Becky after the show, and finding her about to leave for an inspection tour of the ultra-modern, escape-proof jail, made of clam shells with shark's teeth for bars, we decided to join her. In the lowest dungeon, behind a slimy, dark wall, we found lawyer Wegrzyn consulting client Crawford, who was behind bars for defying undersea tradition by riding sea horses after curfew. They had news of Maura, Joan and Diane. When last seen, these three were conducting a school for left-handed starfish. In the next cell was Dulany, clapped in for her part in the latest undersea revolution. She hinted that Barb N. had taken an active part in the clandestine affair, but was then still at large.
It was getting towards supper-time, so we set out in search of a restaurant. We were directed to Carole's shoppe, which was noted for its live turtle soup. Serving the meal were Abby and Jane, who were taking a rest from the strenuous schedule of their touring basketball team.
It was dark now, murky and cold. Delighted as we had been to see our friends, it was time to go home. Sandy, the travel agent, told us that Mary rented whales. — "See Haase for a whale of a ride." We hired her biggest Moby Dick, and amidst many tearful calls of "Goodbye Bumpie," "Goodbye Co," we took off for home.

The Midshipmen
The Midshipmen boarded the S.S. Northampton and were assigned quarters. At our first crew meeting we were given the manual of instructions, which was interpreted by one of the co-captains. To provide some entertainment on board, jamborees were given in honor of both the old and new midshipmen. Elections were held and the elected officers assumed their posts.
After a month on board we were given Monday shore leaves. Musical entertainment was provided, as well as dates and dances, by the N.R.O.T.C. aboard the S.S.Williston.
No sooner had we gained our sea legs in January than we were thrown completely off balance with mid-year examinations. After we weathered that storm successfully, we purchased the class insignia rings.
More entertainment was supplied when the class play was presented by the dramatic section of the Midshipmen's class. We came in second.
Upon our return from Springfield we looked into the future and visited. larger ships. We were well represented at the Ensigns' Ball.
As an experiment we took our trial S.A.T.'s in the spring.
To wind up a happy year, farewell exercises were held on deck. Medals, bars, and decorations were awarded at the Captain's dinner.
Our voyage was weathered with flying colors of green and grey. The anchor was dropped; all Midshipmen took leave for the summer.
President, Dorothy Openshaw Vice President, Allison Guest; Secretary-Treasurer, Margaret Guerin
Third Classmen
When the third classmen boarded the S.S. Northanipton after summer shore leave, Peggy, Ruth, Lasses, Carolyn, Mary and Robin noticed that Pris had been transferred to the S.S. Dana Hall. Mike had remained at home port, and Judy Stoesser had had a fast promotion to midshipman. On September 24th, we added Ali, Judy and'Emmy to our roll.
On special junkets to Look Park, Clear Falls and Mt. Tom, a few of us lost our compasses and as a result could not navigate back to the deck division.
In November we elected Lasses president; Ali, Vice President, and Peggy, Secretary-Treasurer. We chose our colors and now don yellow sweaters and Black Watch plaid skirts when we have the duty.
Then came the long-awaited and anticipated Christmas leave. We all received the not-so-anticipated report cards while in our home ports.
After Christmas leave all hands started cramming for the dreaded exams. Everyone seemed to come out all right. When the roll was called, no one was missing from the task force.
Lasses and Ali were our representatives on leave to the Hogback ski area in Brattleboro, Vermont.
"The Maker of Dreams" was presented by the third classmen for the competitive plays. Emmy, All and Lasses were our featured actors. We won by a two to one vote.
The Ensigns' Ball was a big event for the ensigns and all hands.
Then came the warm weather and that wonderful sun soon changed the white legs to tan and permitted us to have our chow top side.
We composed songs for Phoenix Night rituals and Commencement.
On Commencement Day our shipmates said goodbye amid tears and laughter, and we all bade farewell to the ensigns and wished them good luck.

Plebes
We were the Plebes. For most of us it was our first voyage. Soon we learned the ropes.
Our first official appearance was at top side chapel; Barrie Elliot, President, leading, followed by Lydia Harvey, Vice President, and Anne Barroll, Secretary-Treasurer.
We helped at the ship's Christmas Festivities by presenting "The Blue Prince" at the Bazaar.
We took on supplies at Wiggins; entertaining during the layover, joined by the Seamen 1st Class in the Mummer's play; even with a dragon and Morris dancers.
"The Six Who Pass While the Lentils was Presented during the winter. Final festivities came and went. We were Srd Classmen.
FIRST STUDENT COUNCIL
President, Edwina Wegrzyn
Vice President, Hope Nichols Secretary, Jun Uramatsu
STUDENT COUNCIL
Student Council chartered a relatively calm course. Sunrise chapel services were again conducted by members of the Crow's Nest crew on Tuesday mornings. Better connections were established with the mainland by the installation of a new wireless in Hathaway. We filled the safe with proceeds from our Stu-G Hornpipe. A committee cast a line for more favors, but missed the dock. Officers supervised ship's library and maintained a degree of quiet at all times.
SECOND STUDEN COUNCIL

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
Peaceful seas afforded the Christian Association a calm and prosperous journey. The most active season of our voyage was just before the Christmas vacation. At this time we sponsored the annual bazaar, a festival for students, faculty, and many guests who boarded our vessel for the occasion. We also supported various charities with what we saved by spaghetti dinners and the funds raised in the crew. The ship docked on several occasions for religious conferences at neighboring schools, among them, Mary Burnham, Miss Porter's, and Northfield.

MUSIC CLUB
The ship's chorus was in great demand, not only on board, but with other ships of the line; the "Dorcas Society," the "Women's Club of the First Congregational Church," and "The Golden Age Club" of the Holyoke. Outstanding chantys have been "My Blue Heaven," "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho," and "Deep Purple."

November—Storm Flags .. . From the hold came the voices of the "Rivals".
December—Ship's Angelus proclaimed the Christmas Pageant. Winter—Rough seas grew monotonous; the crew organized and presented a series of one-act plays.
Calm seas, warm breezes announced the arrival of spring. We mounted the deck, impressed a few seamen from the passing Williston; battled our way through the "Taming of the Shrew". Before docking we staged the last play of the season.
Art Club members submitted some water color paintings to an art contest while on land. While on board we received a cable saying that one of our crew members had won second prize and that another member lind been placed on the honorable mention list. We gathered in the club room one day to see some slides. At another meeting we did sketches of still life and of a model. For the spring we planned to sketch and paint on the deck and to visit an art gallery at our next port of entry.
ART CLUB President, Jun Uramatsu
PEGASUS
Co-editors, Haley Crawford and Fran Bearden
The voyage of the Pegasus was launched by a tea for prospective recruits in its private cabin. We piped on a few new members during the year; introduced Stu-G notes. In eight editions we covered subjects from forward to aft decks. In December the presses ground out the red and green Christmas issue. The final publication of the voyage was taken over by the new officers. For the second year we sailed into port showing a profit for the voyage.
Storm warnings in November with a discussion of the turbulent Wicks-Fay controversy. Calm sailing in December. Foreign members of the crew related Yule celebrations in their home ports. During the long winter months the ship's entertainment consisted of films shown in the ward room. In the spring term we put into the port of New York. Shore leave at the U.N., with the objective of learning more about different nations and their efforts to secure world peace.

Lc Cercle Francais weathered heavy gales—buffeted by many conflicting activities, she came through with a tattered, but still flying, ensign. During lulls the ward room was the scene of many films and talks about French ports. To keep the crew in a merry mood during heavy weather, we sang French songs and played French games. We reached the climax of the voyage with the presentation of skits.
On October 7, the 17 senoritas below manned "El Club Espanol", and, following the course mapped by Miss Vogel, set sail for a series of expeditions through Mexico and Spain. The captains of these excursions were Miss Matthes, Mrs. Edwin G. Reade, of Deerfield, and Mrs. Elizabeth C. de Cervantes, of Smith College. During the voyage, all hands celebrated Christmas with Spanish skits and carols. As rations became scarce during the cruel winter months, supplies were replenished by a food sale and a spread. In the latter part of May, "El Club Espanol" came about and headed homeward.
